<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;3, 2011, NRP (Operating) LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Natural Resource
Partners L.P., issued $50&nbsp;million of 5.18% Series&nbsp;K Senior Notes that mature on December&nbsp;1, 2026.
The senior notes were issued pursuant the Fourth Supplement to Note Purchase Agreements, dated

acquisitions, including the remaining balance of the Hillsboro acquisition from the Cline Group.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Series&nbsp;K notes have semi-annual interest payments beginning December&nbsp;1, 2011 and equal
annual principal payments starting December&nbsp;1, 2014. The senior notes are unsecured and are
guaranteed by subsidiaries of NRP Operating. This completes the private placement of senior notes
announced in April&nbsp;2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fourth Supplement to Note Purchase Agreements was filed as Exhibit&nbsp;4.1 to the Current
